@sonocryo: stitch with @Comic Drake i know you mean well and are trying to be comforting and i’m genuinely really glad for you that you haven’t similar experiences to mine, but every comic girl gay and they i know has many… and from my observations, it usually gets notably harder for poc? Personally, i know more people who try to avoid the community and read on their own rather than be a part of it, sometimes myself included, and it breaks my heart #comictok #comiccon #comicbookcommunity #geekgirl #nerdgirl
You're right. It was not necessarily the most well thought out take, it came out no true Scottsman, and despite good intentions I dropped the ball. You made great points that I will try to be mindful of going forward. Thank you for holding me accountable.

thank you for mentioning the people in the community who get upset when we don't want to read books where any character is r__ped. I feel like it's very overlooked by many.

Guys saying they’d be the first to call out people in the group chat instead of asking why they were invited into the group chat in the first place

its because its not a 'comic reader' vs 'not comic reader' issue, it is a MEN issue, thats why this issue exists on fandoms of manga anime, music,books, sports etc... as long as men don't hold each other accountable we'll keep on having this conversation non-stop without any change being done

Agreed this has always been an issue it’s the same thing with the gamer community it’s always been weird ultra right wing center even though they beg for girls with the same interests

Nearly every comic store I've been in I've experienced being followed or treated passive aggressively. I'm very lucky to have lots of options in my area, including an LGBTQ+ owned store and a woman owned store. But that's unfortunately not the case for every reader out there.

It's frustrating to me because i get the attempt is to present the community as welcoming but we need to work to be that.

comic fans tweak out when the protagonist is a woman or when a female character isn't sexualized af or reduced to being the love interest

Cosplay, FanFic, & Collecting :
I go to my favorite shop because it’s friendly to girls and the others aren’t. Like. I’m spoiled for choice too with three shops within an hour. I want to make videos examining comics from a literary theory & criticism standpoint, but haven’t BECAUSE of how so many ppl treat girl friends. Doesn’t matter that I’ve been reading Spider-Man for two decades. Clearly I’m a “fake fan” who’s doing it “for attention”

The first step is to admit there is a problem. It's a toxic space and need to work to repair it. On a light note i also like to collect pretty covers! What's wrong with that?!

yeah the sad part is there are people who genuinely enjoy these stories but take no lessons from them into real life. especially older men

I live near a comic shop, the reviews are exclusively one star or five star. I’ll give you three guesses as what the common denominator in the ratings are. Hint: I, a woman, saw and decided it was best not to even waste my time going there

Liv ᛑᛗᛛ :
I was at a flea market and found myself in a comic shop. The owner mentioned he also buys/barters so I asked about an old Spider-Man comic and he said “if you find one, let me know”. I told him I had it and a bunch of others from the 70’s and he rolled his eyes at me. I was getting ready to move across the country and needed the money but because he treated me that way I just held onto them.

The "no true scottsman defense" where they don't want those people representing them, so rather than actually calling them out they can just pretend anyone like they just were never ACTUALLY part of their shared interest in the first place!

Comics lesbian he/him 🦇 gin ⛒ :
I posted a video two days ago talking about how I am a valid fan even if I don't read many male protagonists books and mostly read stories with women as protagonist and how the "popular and important" books are decided as a standard by men (see The Killing Joke) and I got this comment

⭐️Supergirl_in_Gotham🦇 :
I’m sorry you have to go through all that. I just saw someone get harassed so bad they had to turn their comments off simply bc they were excited about an Absolute Catwoman figure and wanted to start reading the comic. I am greatful I haven’t really experienced it yet, but the idea that I inevitably will is very disheartening.

I like the owners of my local shop but I can't talk to other customers fr. Most of them are older men who still call Invisible Woman "Invisible Girl" and complain about female characters becoming "overpowered". I just can't do it bro
